Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever 2009

July 2, 2009 - Cloanto released today
Amiga Forever 2009, the latest version
of the award-winning Amiga preservation, emulation and support suite for Windows
and other platforms.

Amiga Forever 2009 is the most refined update ever released in the
Amiga Forever series. It again sets new references in usability while more
than doubling the featured content and providing easier access to a universe
of free downloads. Like its sister product
C64 Forever, Amiga Forever 2009
introduces a synergistic combination of the
RP9 retrogaming file format,
RetroPlatform Library to recognize content, and
RP9 Toolbox to export and
import to and from other file formats.

The 2009 version includes hundreds of enhancements and was tested to
comply with "Compatible with Windows 7" requirements. New features include seamless, one-click integration of
the AmiKit and AmigaSYS
add-ons and new system ROMs (e.g. the 0.7 Kickstart required to run the
software used by Andy Warhol's famous 1985 Launch of Amiga
demo). The Plus Edition includes more than 50
games and a selection from the most beautiful
demoscene productions ever created. Tens of thousands of games, as well as other software
ranging from the oldest to the latest Amiga releases are only a mouse click
apart, and can run on powerful PCs and inexpensive netbooks alike.

When both Amiga Forever and C64 Forever are installed, the players share
data and software modules with each other, uniformly playing back RP9 games
of both 8-bit and 32-bit platforms. The same familiar user interface
and settings are also applied to saved states, disk write undo, dual-monitor
setups and other advanced functionality. "The way it brings back memories is amazing, and it feels as
if Commodore and Amiga were united again," said Mike Battilana of
Cloanto.

Dave Haynie, a long-time user of Amiga Forever and
Commodore's former chief engineer on high end and advanced projects, added: "The
past IS the future... Amiga Forever is the single best way to run AmigaOS
today. Your PC is the fastest Amiga that will ever exist, and Cloanto does a
wonderful job of packing the emulation technology, every AmigaOS ROM and
Workbench version (most of which I've long since lost to data rot on my
floppy collection), games, utilities, Web tools, graphics programs, most
anything you would need, all in one place."
